If you could take 1990 Billie Joe back to our time...

Would you show him all his progress? Would you tell him not to have the drug abuse from the iHeart Radio thing? Would you tell him how famous he's gotten? Would you let him take Tre (the album) back with him? What would YOU do?

I'¡d probably try to become good friends with him I wouldn't let him know anything about his future, I don't want things to be different and I don't wants his future to influence his past. I'd probably also ask him to bring Mike too

I believe Billie has spoken about this numerous times in many songs, I don't think he regrets his past or rarely regrets things that he has done. I think he's the kind of person that just takes life as it comes. Sure, there are (and were) many speed bumps, but I don't think he regrets them too much.

I'll quote Tom Delonge, as I think it fits perfectly: "If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn't change a thing, It's made me all of who I am inside."

If I would be able to talk with the Billie Joe before Dookie, I would become her friend, and I would say that his band will be very big and they will release two important albums for the Rock and Roll history, but I wouldn't tell him the progress, just let him being curious.

I would fuck the shit out of him.

Still too young.

I'd listen to everthing from Kerplunk till Tré with him to hear his opinions and tape it on video. When we're finished I'd go to the point in time where I'm about to get him in my time and stop myself so Billie won't hear them (to pretend that it changes the future) and instead give me the tape, so I still have his opinions. Then go to the point where I return and watch the tapes.

Find out if he and the rest of band had come up with the idea for a rock opera with a character named Jimmy yet. They mentioned during the bookmobile tour interview in 1992, and I wonder how far back the idea goes.

What if someone already did go back in time and bring Billie to 2012 and in an alternet universe Green Day broke up pre-dookie and they went solo, Billie was a washed up pop singer, Tre was in a samba band and Mike was busking on the street. When Billie saw this he went back to 1990 and told the guys what he had seen, they worked really hard and he changed his fate and Green Day became who they are today!
